You haven't made any settings changes, but you need to. Your modem is
returning the DTR or modem-to-computer rate (115 Kbaud) instead of the
actual connect rate.  Check the manual that came with your modem; there
should be an AT command to tell the modem to display the modem-to-modem
connect rate instead of the DTR rate.
